Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000002066 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses, with door mounted and interlocked switch (padlockable in the OFF position), a bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, a door mounted control panel with graphical display for local control, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability.
E-Clipse bypass integration enables a direct bypass path around the drive during mechanical operation, reducing wiring complexity and panel space. This translates to faster commissioning and simplified service in field installations. In HVAC applications such as rooftop units and air handlers, the bypass reduces downtime during maintenance while maintaining cooling capacity. Integrated input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses minimizes outage time and simplifies system protection, improving safety and reducing electrical faults in demanding environments. The bypass starter and electronic motor overload protection deliver reliable startup sequences and continuous motor protection, lowering maintenance costs and extending motor life in high-cycle applications. A door-mounted control panel with graphical display provides local control and troubleshooting visibility, accelerating on-site diagnosis and reducing commissioning time. The voltage range of 230/460/575 V and support for up to 350 hp enable a single platform for multiple HVAC duties, improving procurement efficiency and stock management. Safety features including interlocked, padlockable OFF doors enhance operator protection and regulatory compliance while enabling quick lockout procedures during service. Finally, serial communications capability and external control connections simplify integration into broader building automation and industrial control systems, delivering tangible ROI through reduced integration effort and scalable architecture.
